Confidence Coalition

Women make only 76% of their male peers' salaries.

Only 2% of women think they are beautiful.

Together we can make a difference! Created by Kappa Delta Sorority in 2009, the Confidence Coalition is an alliance committed to promoting self-confidence in girls and women so that they may feel empowered to overcome social barriers and be inspired to reach their greatest potential. It is an international movement that enables women and girls to stand up to peer pressure and media stereotypes, say no to risky behavior and abusive relationships, and put an end to relational aggression, such as bullying – on the playground and in the office.
Kappa Delta’s platform of confidence is the basis for the KD membership experience, from new-member education to leadership development and alumnae life. The Confidence Coalition is not one of Kappa Delta’s philanthropies, but rather a programming extension of the sorority’s commitment to inspiring women to reach their full potential.
